Don't sweat it!

I absolutely adore Fridays! Plus, Summer in the City starts tonight in Steinbach, and if the rain holds off, I plan on dragging my hubby around for some site-seeing and fair food!

Fridays tend to be my day where I look at my week and am critical of myself where I need to be, and give myself a pat on the back for the things I accomplished (this is also usually accompanied by chocolate...) For instance, I didn't get quite as much packaging done for my products as I would have liked, but I did get my garden all planted! I kept up with my laundry, billings, returned phone calls and emails, walked 4 out of 5 days this week and went grocery shopping. So what if my housework got put on the back burner a bit...this week turned out pretty awesome!

We live in a society that puts so much pressure on us to be "perfect". You need to be a wife, mother, entrepreneur, car pool driver, housekeeper, chef,  sounding board, and keeper of the family schedule. It can be intimidating when you actually sit down and think of all the "hats" we are required to wear in the run of a day! Being overwhelmed and wanting to retreat to the nearest closet with a couple of KitKat bars and a bottle of wine is usually the next thought that runs through your head after you realize all of the stuff you do to keep the earth from imploding on a daily basis (or something slightly less dramatic...) Trust me, it's ok to not have it all together. Heck, most days I do good to remember where I put it, let alone have it all in one place!

My dad always said, "Don't sweat the petty things, and don't pet the sweaty things". Well, after you scrape that mental image from your eyes, you can find the little nugget of truth that's stored in there: Life is too short to worry about the stuff today that won't matter tomorrow.

So, tonight I plan on going on a date with my handsome man! We're going to play games on the midway, eat stuff that will rot our teeth, and just have fun together...the housework can wait until tomorrow.

I hope you have a rockin' weekend and make the most of every moment you have!

Give yourself a hug for my...you are awesome! <3
